Steak Marinades

I like marinating flank steaks and London broils especially. You can marinade whole steaks or cut them into cubes or strips for different dishes like stir-fries and kebabs.

Marinating Flank Steak

Make Ahead Tip

Double the recipe and throw one meal portion in a freezer bag with the marinade. You’ll be one huge step ahead on your dinner prep when you pull it from the freezer the night before and allow it to thaw in the refrigerator.

Simplest Beef Marinade

2 Tbs olive oil

2 Tbs lemon juice

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 Tsp dried parsley or 1 Tbs fresh, chopped

salt and pepper

Honey and Soy Sauce Marinade

1/4 cup soy sauce

1/4 cup honey

1/4 cup oil

1 clove garlic, minced

1/2 tsp black pepper

Steak Sauce and Balsamic Vinaigrette

1/2 cup steak sauce

1/2 cup balsamic vinaigrette

2 cloves minced garlic

Beef and Vegetable Kebobs

Beer & Cilantro Marinade

1 12-oz can or bottle of beer

1/2 cup chopped cilantro

3 garlic cloves

1/4 cup lime juice

2 tsp (or more) chili powder

1 tsp ground cumin

You can chop everything up or put it in the food processor with the beer and liquefy it. Put it in a glass container or plastic zippered bag with the steak and marinade in the refrigerator a few hours, turning occasionally.
